September 9

You do not have to have competed in the previous rounds to enter the Series.

The grades should now match most other grades across Sydney, to make it easy for riders to decide on their appropriate grade.

All of our grades are ability based. We don’t care how old you are or what gender you are (exception the A Masters which is 40 years and above). Everyone does the same course, at the same time and the same distance for that grade. Enter your preferred grade based on your ability.

Our racing is on regardless of the weather. If it is cold and wet, or even raining. WE RACE.

This race series isn’t just for the Elites, every grade will be vying for leaders jerseys and prizes and with so many grade options, you would be mad to not pin on a number and give it a shake.

ALL GRADES RACE FROM THE ROLL OUT, THERE IS NO NEUTRAL SECTION

Our KOM Financial Advice Road Race will be signing on from 6:30am for all grades at the Elvina Walking Track Carpark. If you pre enter please ensure you arrive at a minimum 10 minutes before your race start.

The start/finish line and presentation area is located at the Elvina Walking Track Car park on West Head Road.We would request that you do not park in the Elvina Walking Track car park – this not only assists our marshalls when they head up there to set up for the finish, but also assists with our relations with the National Parks. This also gives riders more room to hang around in post race.

By pre registering, you are ensuring your entry and then on the day you will just turn up a minimum 10 minutes before race start, sign the sheet and grab a number. If a grade is advertised as sold out, that is exactly what it means – no spots will be available on the day.If you use gel or energy wrappers, please put your empty wrappers in your pockets and take them home with you. The National Park is not a rubbish dump.
